The Growl will be given away as part of a Youngcare awareness program on Channel Nine's Today Show.

Details of the competition will be unveiled on October 10.

Currently more than 7500 young Australians (under the age of 65) with full-time care needs are living in aged care simply because there are few alternatives. There are also 700,000 more young Australians being cared for at home by family and friends.

Youngcare was established in 2005 to find relevant and dignified care, to drive change and create real choices for young Australians and their families.
